About our shower tray repair in Firsdown

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need shower tray repair in Firsdown?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Firsdown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
